John Curl's Outline History of Cooperatives in the San Francisco Bay Area and California

July 27, 2010

John Curl's history of the Bay Area Cooperative movement is eye-opening.  It leaves you amazed that this country is so rich in cooperativism yet we only learn of it through John's heroic efforts.  It brings to mind the saying: You need to know where you've been to know where you're going.  My hope is that this history further opens up and extends our vision and our work.  Many thanks to John Curl for his work.

GEO will also post his fabulous history of the Pittsburgh area and the Pennsylvania history written for the Eastern Conference for Workplace Democracy in a booklet in 2009.
